Beyond Fest 2014 LA What Lies Within

Beyond Fest has its full list of films for another season of to-good-to-be-true showings. It starts September 25-Oct 4 at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood.

We get the LA premieres of V/H/S VIRAL + V/H/S Shorts presented by Bloody Disgusting and the ABC’S OF DEATH 2 as a Free screening. Those are two of the most wanted horror anthologies coming out this year, really there aren't any more anthologies out there, but with a new crop of directors for each who doesn't want to see the guts fly?

They have two of TTDILA favorite directors for V/H/S, Viral Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes, Open Windows) and Marcel Sarmiento (Deadgirl). I guess this explains why Nacho is in town for SpectreFest too. For another quick fact, that hospital in Deadgirl happens to be in LA, I know because I helped on set working on another film. It's creepy as you think at night.

Beyond that the festival is full of special guests like Nicolas Winding Refn, John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jonah Ray and Kumail Nanjiani.

Special screenings from Asian film  like Sion Sono'S Tokyo Tribe and if you missed it, Hitoshi Matsumoto’s creepy-sex-comedyR100, it played at AFI Fest, you can catch it again.

Let us not forget a remastered 4K screening of Halloween. Which is already sold out

Be afraid of getting a seat at the free screenings! There are quite a few, but they're taking place in the El Rey Theatre, which I believe was called the Spielberg not long ago. That theater doesn't even have a hundred seats.
